Not entirely random -- Please don't use the term 'Judeo-Christian'. It is a supracessionist term that is frequently used to claim a level of similarity between Judaism and Christianity that simply does not exist. As an example, anti-abortion activists will frequently claim that abortion is 'against Judeo-Christian values', but the truth is that Judaism not only allows abortion in many circumstances, but in some cases requires it (to save the life of the mother). In the last few decades it has also been used as to reinforce Islamophobia, positioning the 'Judeo-Christian' Western civilization against 'barbaric' Muslims. And don't get me started on the problems with a 'Judeo-Christian' West when the West spent over a millennium attacking Judaism and Jews at every turn. If you know what you are talking about applies to both Christians and Jews, just say 'Christianity and Judaism'.
